Outcast Celtic Star Receives Improved Bid From Belgian Suitors: Why Rodgers Must Sanction The Transfer

Oh Hyeon-gyu is anticipated to leave Parkhead due to interest from Genk, following a bit-part stint at Celtic.

The Belgian sensations have been in negotiations for a while, and HLN Sport journalist Bob Faesen,

cited by Football Scotland, claims that Blue-White has put out a better offer to move the deal along.

Before making his senior team debut in 2019, the 23-year-old South Korean international advanced via Suwon Samsung Bluewings’ youth divisions.

He was able to improve his game with consistent playing time during a loan stint at Gimcheon Sangmu,

which ultimately led to him being called up to the first squad at his boyhood club.

With the help of his contacts and connections in the Far East,

former Hoops boss Ange Postecoglou was able to sign him for a reported sum of £2.5 million.

Despite the fact that his entrance made Giakoumakis’ exit easier,

Oh also had trouble getting enough playing time and was Kyogo Furuhashi’s second fiddle despite leading the attack.

Before the 2023–24 season, Brendan Rodgers returned to the Paradise to take Postecoglou’s position,

who was heading to Tottenham. Furuhashi was also his go-to “number 9,” and Oh fell even farther in the rankings as a result of Adam Idah’s winter loan.

This season, Rodgers did not appear to have the South Korean star in his plans,

as he made just three starts out of 26 appearances.

Transfer of marginal players to raise money as they are in talks with Norwich City to sign the Irishman on a permanent deal.

Rodgers’ free-flowing passing game does not fit Oh’s traditional style of play,

even when he occasionally displays his poaching qualities.

Although he is an obvious center forward who waits for crosses from the wings,

Idah is still a threat since he can move down the side and play as a wing-forward while responding to tactical changes.

He has demonstrated his skill and grace high up the pitch.

He already made a bigger impression than Oh when he scored the game-winning goal against Rangers in the Scottish Cup final.

His nine goals in 19 games across all competitions demonstrate his capacity to take Furuhashi’s spot,

who had difficulty finding the back of the net near the end of the previous season.
